For many of us, these are trying times. We can become so overwhelmed by what's going on around us, that we forget the One who lives within us! The psalmist encourages us to remember the sovereignty of our God and the refuge we have in Him. Be still (quiet your spirit before God- stop allowing your thoughts to be consumed by negativity), and know (recognize and understand) that I am God.
As we turn our attention from the problem to The Answer, a measure of control is restored. Instead of viewing our circumstances through the eyes of a victim, we find ourselves gaining a perspective of one seeing our situation through the eyes of a victor. It is from this vantage point that clarity comes. We move from a feeling of helplessness to being assured of a positive outcome. Not necessarily because of our ability to bring about change, but because of his ability to keep us until our change comes. Always remember; "all things work together for those who love the Lord and are called according to his purposes." Even this!

I'll be the first to say that this has blessed me tremendously. Thank you for the WORD!
This was more confirmation for me. During a trying time in my life it was so easy for thoughts to be consumed by negativity, but remembering and understanding that he is GOD can erase all traces of doubt. This has been a tremendous blessing for me!
